Follow-up Comment #1, bug #59437 (project grub): I am seeing a similar problem, It looks like grub doesnt "clear the screen" before outputting its countdown, etc...
I can hit "Esc" to stop the countdown, but the screen is garbled because grub is only painting the part of the screen it thinks is changed - leaving the other stuff thats already on the screen in its place. scrolling around the screen using arrow keys does repaint some portions, but its still garbled. hitting 'e' to edit the boot line DOES repaint the screen and it shows up nicely. Interestingly enough I can get the screen to fully repaint the menu by using keys 'e' 'Escape' - which means: 1) goto edit mode 2) escape edit mode back to menu. So this can be used as a (rather obfuscated) workaround. I would vote for adding a 'control-L' key to grub to repaint the screen in interactive mode. and/or adding an initial "clear screen" when grub first starts up. I am enclosing screen shots to further illustrate the problem. I am seeing this on Grub 0.97; not tested with grub2.
